Flying on JetBlue

Baggage basics

At JetBlue, we want you to pack freely. That's why we take your first checked bag for free. So go ahead, put in that extra pair of shoes or that "just-in-case" outfit. You don't have to squeeze it all into your carry-on.

The following baggage information pertains to JetBlue-operated flights only and does not apply to codeshare or interline flights. Please see the partner airlines section for more information about their baggage policies.

Additional bags

If you are checking more than one bag, there is a $50 fee for checking a second bag and a $100 fee for a third bag. Each checked bag must not exceed 62" (157.5cm) in overall dimensions (ie. length + width + height) and must not exceed 50 pounds (22.73 kilos).

Overweight, oversized or excess

Overweight, oversized or excess baggage may only be checked based on load availability. Fees will be assessed for each category that applies, e.g., if a bag is both overweight and oversized, the overweight fee plus the oversized fee will apply. Fees will be collected at the airport on check in.
